Isolation vinyls part.2

Hello people!

If you are reading this it means that you either have a great music taste or you are stuck at home on this bank holiday with not much to do. Either way thank you for coming back to my blog! In this post, as I promised, I will show you another 3 isolation vinyl albums that I have been spinning constantly these past weeks.  Also I will share some tips on discovering new music. So grab a beer and let's get started! 


                                                                                       ❤️❤️❤️

As much as I love spinng my all time classic albums, I also love discovering new artists and experimenting with different music genres. Here are some ways that I follow to seek new music:

  • Spotify: 

Spotify is a great way to discover new artists. There are millions of playlists there depending on your mood.From working from home playlist to singing in the shower. And they are full of different artists from all over the globe! 

  • Record stores:

As I mentioned in my last post, record stores are struggling a lot during this pandemic, and they are asking people to visit them online so they can be there for music lovers after this strange time. So if you visit their online stores they list new releases weekly. Also on their instagram profiles they post lots of pictures of their albums of the week!


Here is a link to discover new record stores:

  • Record store day website:

Record store day is an annual day when records shops celebrate by releasing limited editions of some albums. This year RSD has been postponed until September, but on this website lots of Record Store people post their favourite albums, both modern and classic. So you can learn what your local record store peeps are listening!





  • Magazines, artists and music venues

Many artists and music venues post on their personal profiles some of their favourite quarantunes. They also perform many live virtual gigs in order to fulfil your live music needs. Music magazines write lots of posts with recommended music and upcoming artists. My favourite ones include readdork and DIY.

                                                                                               💿💿💿

And  here are my isolation vinyls!

 Album 4: High Risk Behaviour by The Chats (2020)




This is the newest release in my collection. The aussie trio's first album is full of happy energetic tunes that bring the house parties of Australia in your house! They definitely know how to lift up your mood. 

 Genre: punk rock ,'shed' rock

Favourite tune: Identity Theft

Record store: Sister Ray Records (London, UK)


Album 5: U.F.O.F by Big Thief (2019)



Big Thief's 3rd album is a masterpiece of lovely melodies. Adrianne's hypnotic voice combined with the softly guitar travel you to nature, where nothing else but you exist. If you want an album about emotions, dreams, nature and acoustic guitars then U.F.O.F is for you! (The last F stands for Friend in case you are curious)

 Genre: indie folk, indie rock

Favourite tune: U.F.O.F

Record Store: Resident (Brighton, UK)


Album 6: Sometimes I sit and think and sometimes I just sit by Courtney Barnett (2015)



This is a pretty special album to me because it's the first vinyl I ever bought and it's from my local record shop,Left for dead. I love Courtney's music and lyrics, which are full of humour describing every day situations. This album is a mixture of 90s indie pop, grunge and country ballads.

 Favourite track: Pedestrian at Best

Record Store: Left for dead (Shrewsbury, UK)

                                                                                                      💿💿💿

I hope you enjoyed this post and found some inspiration. If you want  any recommendations on a specific music genre just let me know! Also I would like to know your isolation albums 😉  Wishing you a lovely sunny weekend, with lots of fun zoom parties,music and beer!!

 

Love, 

Sofia

London Eurovision Party

Εικόνα
Good evening Europe, good morning Australia! A few days left for the biggest music event in the world, and I cannot wait any longer! Always the months waiting for the contest fly by, but as soon as the last week approaches times moves so slowly and the day seems endless. I call it the Eurovision Timing Effect. As I mentioned in my last post, I attended the London Eurovision Party on the 16 th of April, the last official pre-party before the show! A Eurovision pre-party is a party where some of this year’s contestants and previous Eurovision stars perform their entry song but also some of their hits. It was held at HERE at Outernet , an underground venue in the heart of central London and it was filled with eurofans from all over the world. I can’t imagine how magical Liverpool will be next week! In this post I will share some photos from the party. Grab a brew and let’s go!  💛💙💛💙💛💙💛 The party started with performances from many Eurovision veterans including KEiiNO (No...

Happy Sunday everyone! As we are getting closer to the contest the odds are on fire and people have already started placing their bets on this year’s winning song (if you want to learn more about how odds are calculated see my blog post here ). In today’s post I will write about the top 5 songs that are currently parked at the top of the odds chart. That doesn’t mean they will 100% win, or that they are the people’s favourites, but they stand a high chance of getting the treasured title of Eurovision winner. Grab a brew and here we go.  💙💛💙💛💙💛💙 1.    1.  Sweden This is not an unusual place for the Eurovision titan, which every year lands on the top 5 of the odds. This year though it is the bookmakers favourite to win, with the Eurovision legend Loreen making a strong return, determined to experience victory again! Of course you know Loreen from winning the 2012 contest with the hit ' Euphoria' , which is voted every year as the fans favourite Eurovisi...

United by music

Εικόνα
Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! It is only 76 days to Eurovision 2023 and many countries have selected their entry song through their national competitions. Also the logo and slogan of the contest has been revealed, and in this post I will write about the background of that selection and also take a trip to Eurovision slogans through the years! 💙💛💙💛 European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has reveled the slogan and theme artwork for this year's contest end of January, which is ' United By Music '. The new slogan demonstrates the unique partnership of this year's contest between the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Host City Liverpool. It is the first time when the winning country won't host the contest due to the unfortunate event of the war (there have been 6 previous occasions in which a different nation hosted due to financial reasons). This slogan shows the collaboration of the two countries to bring the ESC to audiences across the globe and the incredible power of...
